Review: Powerstroke - Done Deal

Well, this album has been an interesting one to review. For starters, the album is groovy quite a bit, and the vocals do have a great variety in them, as the vocalist uses a variety of techniques in his performance. The songs have great variety in them, as there are songs with more groove, there are songs that start as acoustics and so on, and so on. The sound quality is close to perfect, as any imperfection that you can hear I am sure that it is deliberate. The guitar is sharp sounding and punches through the mix even in the groovier parts, the drums are dialed in perfectly and you can hear everything even in the slower parts and in the faster parts. The vocals do make a difference on this record, as the difference in the techniques combined with the song sections they were used in make the perfect sense. There are clean vocals, growl vocals, even some metalcore sounding vocals and all of that combined with the drums and the guitars make the magic here. And again, here as everywhere else, the bass can't be heard a lot of the time. Besides the bass, I do not have a big complaint here, everything else is pretty perfect and in every sense is really in line. In general, the album is great, and is a great addition to the groove metal genre, and by that I give the album a 9/10.
